Representative examples were diluted in DMSO to concentrations between 10 μM and 10 μM and added to each well of the plate. A mixture totaling 125 μL per well of assay buffer (20 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.4), 1 mM EDTA, 50 mM NaCl, 0.05% PF-68), 10 nM Bcl-2 protein (prepared as described in PNAS 2001, 98, 3012-3017), 1 nM fluorescein-labeled BAX peptide (prepared in-house), and the DMSO solution of the example was shaken for 2 minutes and placed in the LJL Analyst. Polarization was measured at 25° C. using a continuous Fluorescein lamp (excitation 485 nm; emission 530 nm).

These binding and inhibitory data demonstrate the utility of compounds having formula (I) as inhibitors of anti-apopotic Bcl-X_(L) protein and anti-apopotic Bcl-2.

It is expected that, because compounds having formula (I) bind to and inhibit the activity of Bcl-X_(L) and Bcl-2, they would also have utility as inhibitors of anti-apopotic protein family members having close structural homology to Bcl-X_(L) and Bcl-2, such as, for example, anti-apopotic Bcl-w, Mcl-1 and Bfl-1/A1 proteins.

Accordingly, compounds having formula (I) are expected to have utility in treatment of diseases during which anti-apopotic Bcl-X_(L) protein, anti-apopotic Bcl-2 protein, anti-apopotic Bcl-w protein or a combination thereof, are expressed.

Diseases during which anti-apopotic protein family members such as Bcl-X_(L) protein, Bcl-2 protein and Bcl-w protein are expressed include cancer, neoplastic disease and autoimmune disorders, wherein cancer and neoplastic disease include, but are not limited to acoustic neuroma, acute leukemia, acute lymphocytic leukemia, acute myelocytic leukemia (monocytic, myeloblastic, adenocarcinoma, angiosarcoma, astrocytoma, myelomonocytic and promyelocytic), acute t-cell leukemia, basal cell carcinoma, bile duct carcinoma, bladder cancer, brain cancer, breast cancer, bronchogenic carcinoma, cervical cancer, chondrosarcoma, chordoma, choriocarcinoma, chronic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelocytic (granulocytic) leukemia, colorectal cancer, craniopharyngioma, cystadenocarcinoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, dysproliferative changes (dysplasias and metaplasias), embryonal carcinoma, endometrial cancer, endotheliosarcoma, ependymoma, epithelial carcinoma, erythroleukemia, esophageal cancer, estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer, essential thrombocythemia, Ewing's tumor, fibrosarcoma, follicular lymphoma, germ cell testicular cancer, glioma, heavy chain disease, hemangioblastoma, hepatoma, hepatocellular cancer, hormone insensitive prostate cancer, leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, lung carcinoma, lymphagioendotheliosarcoma, lymphangiosarcoma, lymphoblastic leukemia, lymphoma (Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's), malignancies and hyperproliferative disorders of the bladder, breast, colon, lung, ovaries, pancreas, prostate, skin and uterus, lymphoid malignancies of T-cell or B-cell origin, leukemia, lymphoma, medullary carcinoma, medulloblastoma, melanoma, meningioma, mesothelioma, multiple myeloma, myelogenous leukemia, myeloma, myxosarcoma, neuroblastoma, non-small cell lung cancer, oligodendroglioma, oral cancer, osteogenic sarcoma, ovarian cancer, pancreatic cancer, papillary adenocarcinomas, papillary carcinoma, pinealoma, polycythemia vera, prostate cancer, renal cell carcinoma, retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, sarcoma, sebaceous gland carcinoma, seminoma, small cell lung carcinoma, solid tumors (carcinomas and sarcomas), small cell lung cancer squamous cell carcinoma, synovioma, sweat gland carcinoma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, testicular tumors, uterine cancer and Wilms' tumor, (Cancer Res., 2000, 60, 6101-10 and Medicine, 2d Ed., J.B. Lippincott Co., Philadelphia (1985)); autoimmune disorders include, but are not limited to, acquired immunodeficiency disease syndrome, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, hemolytic anemia, inflammatory diseases, and thrombocytopenia (Current Allergy and Asthma Reports 2003, 3:378-384; Br. J. Haematol. 2000 September; 110(3): 584-90; Blood 2000 Feb. 15;95(4):1283-92; and New England Journal of Medicine 2004 September; 351(14): 1409-1418).

It is also expected that compounds having formula (I) would inhibit the growth of cells derived from a cancer or neoplasm such as breast cancer (including estrogen-receptor positive breast cancer), colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, lung cancer(including small cell lung cancer), lymphoma (including follicular or Diffuse Large B-cell), lymphoma (including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma), neuroblastoma, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer (including hormone-insensitive prostate cancer), testicular cancer (including germ cell testicular cancer).

A representative compound having formula (I), EXAMPLE 2, displayed therapeutic utility against human tumor cell lines derived from small cell lung carcinomas and lymphoid malignancies of both T-cell and B-cell origin.

EXAMPLE 2 also displayed therapeutic utility against acute lymphoblastoid leukemia, small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and follicular lymphoma tumors (RS11380, DoHH2 and SuDHL-4) in xenograft models.

EXAMPLE 2 also demonstrated anti-tumor activity in two murine models (H146 and SCLC xenograft) from human-derived small cell lung cancer isolated from smokers and nonsmokers, defective for Rb/p53 gene function, and expresseive of moderately high levels of Bcl-2. In the H146 model, treatment with EXAMPLE 2 resulted in complete regression of an established tumor with, in some cases, tumor disappearance after prolonged therapy.

EXAMPLE 2 also prolonged survival in a systemic model of acute lymphoblastic leukemia and inhibited tumor growth in a model of follicular lymphoma (DOHH-2). Therapeutic utility was also observed in a prostate cancer model.

Without being limited by theory, the genetic link between Bcl-2 and cancer comes from the observation that t(14;18) chromosomal translocations in B-cell lymphomas lead to overexpression of the protein. Aberrant Bcl-2 and Bcl-X_(L) expression is also seen in other lymphoid malignancies such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia and acute lymphocytic leukemia. EXAMPLE 2 exhibited significant activity in a CCRF-CEM T-cell acute lymphoblastoid leukemia model as well as in SuDHL4 and RS11380, two models of B-cell follicular lymphoma.

CCRF-CEM is a p53-mutant acute lympoblastoid leukemia line of T-cell origin used as an animal (mouse) model of systemic leukemia involving intravenous inoculation of tumor cells. If left untreated, the mice succumb to disease within about 34 days post inoculation, at which time extensive tumor infiltration of spleen, liver, and bone marrow has occured. Administeration of EXAMPLE 2 increased the average survival of the mice and showed a significant decrease in average spleen weight relative to vehicle controls (indicative of a lower tumor burden in this organ). Subsequent histopahtological assessments revealed lower tumor infiltration in both the liver and spleen relative to controls.

Animal studies were conducted following the guidelines of the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Immunocompromised male scid mice (C.B-17-Prkdc^(scid)) were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Wilmington, Mass.) at 6-8 weeks of age. DoHH-2 cells were obtained from the German National Resource Centre for Biological Material (Braunschweig, Germany). 2×10⁶ DoHH-2 cells in 50% Matrigel (BD Biosciences, Bedford, Mass.) were inoculated subcutaneously into the flank. Mice were sorted into therapy groups approximately 7-14 days after inoculation with an average tumor size of 200-250 mm³ per group (N=10 mice per group). Tumor size was evaluated by twice weekly measurements with digital calipers. Tumor volume was estimated using the formula: V=L×W². For systemic tumor studies, 2×10⁶ cells were inoculated into the lateral tail vein without matrigel. Disease progression was recorded as the onset of morbidity. EXAMPLE 2 was administered i.p. in a vehicle of 5% Tween 80, 30% propylene glycol, 65% D5W (5% dextrose in water), less than 1% DMSO. Cyclophosphamide was obtained from the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (Princeton, N.J.). Prednisolone was obtained from Aero Pharmaceuticals (Pompano Beach, Fla.). Etoposide was obtained from Bedford Laboratories (Bedford, Ohio). Adriamycin was obtained from Sicor Pharmaceuticals (Irvine, Calif.). Vincristine was obtained from Faulding Pharmaceuticals (Paramus, N.J.). Rituximab was obtained from Genetech, Inc. (San Francisco, Calif.). Each was administered according to the manufacturers guidelines. Rapamycin was administered i.p. in a vehicle of 4% ethanol, 10% solutol and 86% phosphate buffered saline.

The therapeutic effect of paclitaxel on A549 human non-small cell lung carcinoma cells was about 4.4-fold more efficacious when administered with EXAMPLE 2. A similar increase (4.7-fold) in efficacy was demonstrated against PC-3 prostate carcinoma cells. The enantiomer of EXAMPLE 2 was less efficacious, indicating that the therapeutic effect of EXAMPLE 2 was the direct result of binding to anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins. The anti-tumor activity of EXAMPLE 2 was equivalent to slightly better than paclitaxel near the maximum tolerated dose in a small cell lung cancer xenograft tumor model and superior to cisplatin and etoposide. In a PC3 derived murine model of prostate cancer, EXAMPLE 2 exhibited about 40-50% inhibition of tumor growth rate.

Studies pertaining to the efficacy of EXAMPLE 2 in combination with etoposide, vincristine, modified CHOP, doxorubicin, rapamycin and Rituxin® demonstrated that EXAMPLE 2 synergistically enhanced efficacy of these cytotoxic agents during combination therapy. In particular, combinations ocomprising EXAMPLE 2 and rapamycin and EXAMPLE 2 and Rituxin® resulted in complete regression of a significant percentage of established DoHH2 follicular lymphoma flank tumors for a sustained period of time.
